It would bo superfluous to state more speritlcally llie in
fluences under which this gentleman acted; it is not neces
sary. It is a persuasion which prevails with every discern
ing man In the country, that the part taken by Gen. Hamil
ton, Mr. M'Duffie, Mr. Huyne, and thereat, was the over
whelming influence and mastery of human passions of Mr.
Calhoun. No men on earth are so unlike each other in cha
racter, temper, and faculties as those three gentlemen. No
man understood them better than him to whom they haj
surrendered themselves—|>ersuading themselves, as all men

if‘this masterpiece wasriot the last spasm of nullification,
fh“ speech would not merit the employment ol' paper and
ink for its examination; for it is from the beginning to the
end, a tissue of limping and incongruous sophistry, re
pugnant to all the principles of civilized society, and betray

tion or perversion of history.
After the maimer of the orators, lie opens the drama with
himself, and the eventful era, (nullification in its last agonies)
at which we have arrived. Thirteen years, he says, em
ployed in the federal councils, had not alii natal him; [lie
does not show tiiat any one ever attempted it] and he re
mained itnsciluccl by the blandishments of federal power,
and undefiled by the worship o(false gods and foreig-niifuls!
If any body cun discover the seducers, or the nature of the
blandishments, or where the false gods and foreign idols are
to be found, weshull pay our respects to them; but as they

it necessary to put ura caveat, which appears to be intended
to cover with a veil of nullification all his early opinions,

is in opposition to al! the tbreconceived iheories of liis youth
and inexperience; so there ive l A ave him on that point.

■ mtely. fomn-d, scrupulously examined—and finally-ap-
.. oved fif the people of each and every one of I lie States.
Now let us see Governor M‘Duffle’s construction constru-
>1 It is nothing more than the old version of nullification,
or the larilF questions; and wopld be scarcely worthy of
animadversion, if it had not teen again dug up from the
grave in which it had teen buried,-its very parents holding
the funeral pall. Thus he goes—
“However they may he amalgamated in the crucible of an
executive proclamation, or of speculative theory, hisiory
bears testimony, that the Stales are in point oflact, distinct,
and separate communities, mutually independent of each
other, and each possessing fhu‘inherent and uuderived attri
bute of sovereignty.”
Here are allegations wliolly superfluous, because there is
n» actual dispute on the facts. The States, as colonies, were
separate; anil when they* established the continental congress
they acted a separate states, distinct and indejtendent; no
one disputes it Neither ran it be disputed that under the
Declaration of Independence all men were equal, inde-
js-Bdent of each-other, and possessing the inherent and un
derived attribute of sovereignty—that is, the people were
the only sovereigns. Here the rases of the separate States,
a id of the separate individuals, was the same. A common
s“nse of danger aid common pledge of safety united liis
’• udividuals—the same sense united the Slates. But Mic
oovereigniy w us not a separate attribute, Qf any one man,
'any more than any one ^tate; the constitution of 1783 w as
i constitution formed hy the sovereignty of the people; there
being no sovereignty hut the people under American insti
tutions.
TheSb ideas are Very happily illustrated by some transac
tions in thn State of Virginia, on a question raised npisi the
right to relinquish allegiance. Names we are not so well
able to recollect as facts. There were several questions
raised. The English h;ttJ occasionally asserted the inviola
bility of allegiance: it was -upon this doctrine that Ellutft
Allen was carried prisoner to England; that Luke-Ryan
was condemned-to death, fur being taken in company of a
French frigate, and Nappe/ Tandy as holding a French
jeneral’s commission. Though all these were (Xeriqip^'l
t rain the htbt ;H-i»p!ty of treason, thp doctrine was hot re
nounced; for it has been constantly asserted in impressing
our citizens, and.making diem violate their allegiance, .un
iter pretence of their being Englishmen,-incapable of alienat-
iug themselves.
The English doctrine was advocated in the bad times
when Jonathan Robbins was surrendered hy a South Carolina
;ndgot and if xve recollect right, Charles Fuickney, ol South
Carolina, was the l>old and manly repudiator of that slavish
md despotic doctrine.
' The question arose in Virginia on the right of individual
expatriation, and the principles then declared wiy-e—that so
! ong as any man lived under the lams and jurisdiction of socie
ty, so long was he bound in allegiance thereto, or liable to
punishment if he should violate it; but that every man had
a right, in pursuit of his own happiness to relinquish his
allegiance by departing out of the jurisdiction ol tile society
from which he determined to retire. •
Whatever may be tire construction of allegiance, whether
it be a pledge or promise, actual or implied, on lire purl -of
every individual; or, as it is explained in the dictionaries,
the duty of obedience to the sovereign power; in either sense,
allegiance must have reference to the source ol its security
and freedom. Then the Virginia construction is borne out
by the very tenas, as well us by the-case; since it is only
, within the jurisdiction that protection and rights ar« sustain
ed, so out of the jurisdiction tha individual is neither pro
tected, nor can it be called for or be enforced.
Governor M'HuUie’s notions do not travel in the direction
of rational allegiance, lie and the nuliifiers ih general
“create a phantom, in order to conduit it.” They do not look
to line generous social spirit which adores the causes of its
very existence and its prosperity. U w as very fine in the
Yankees who emptied the tea into Boston Bay; it was very
brave of those wiio shed their blood at Lexington; it Was
gallant and glorious in those genemts and the rank and file
who shed th**irblood in disastrous campaigns* and shoeless
inarches; all these things are very well to read of; hut ns to
. carry out their consequcttces—Hie goteimor in disposed to re-
tyke: nay he has discovered snpm features in the case, « hich
stay and obey the sovereignty of the Union, which is not i
compatible with the reserved sovereignty; but if they will
not—the world is all befora them, Where'to* seek a place of
rest.
But It is scarcely‘necessary to argue those -odious in-
volitions and follies of Sedition. From the v -ry beginning
to tbi», last paroxysfu'ar Governor M'Uufiie, the w hole Las
been the mere ebullition of mixed 'passions, alike unnatural,
unsocial a.id desperate. Tiie,pretexts have been through
out lhlse—the arguments false—and the very ends pretend
ed to lie arrived at, false a;id preposterous. We have their
argument in their apology. Mr. M'Duflie Was originally an
open, candid, generous man. A man with such a temper,
however deluded by his own infirmities, or the influence of

He has let it out in his speech inaugural!
It is a bifold matter; and it becomes a man who has no
thing to fear, nor to reproach him, to speak of things as they
are, however pr.-judioe may deem them delicate. Governor
31‘Duffie lias made it a very serious- question. Jlis inode of
treating it, is to make it mi interminable tjtestiou of hostili
ty; between whom? Let him speak for’himself. - Hear
Governor M'Duffie:
“Not only are the States separated geographically, and hy
a distinct and independent political orgariiz.ilion, but .hey
practically separated by tne-diversity of their
staple production’s, creating a direct and irtecimcihihle con-
dipt ol interests between the exporting,i -id manulacHiring
States, ns decided as ever existed beftycenany tw o independ
ent nations, ancient or modern!'’
Here we are told explicitly, by a governor, that lh A divpr-
did not intend if. but he has here .unmasked ^nliijiration
We have only to add a- few wonb. Th - whbl ■ of tin -

Legation of the United Stales, Paris, August 3, 133-t
Sir—1 have, tile honor to acknowledge t)ie receipt of you
exK-llency’s letter of the 31st July, in ansvyrn- toxinn •iM‘ lb
23fli and 29ili of the same month. .When tins coinmuuica
tkm shall- be submitted to the president, he will doubtless h
gratified a: the renewed assurance it contains of a' site- -
diGiry to procure a speedy und filitldul execution, on th ■ part
of France, of the stipulations contained in the treaty. Bui
1 cannot, and ought not, in candor tu conceal my p rsnarinn,
that he will fr-el great surprise ryid regret, when he looks in
vain m that communication fof a repetition of fh - assuratic.-s
•given by-M. •Sorurier, as to the time at which th law for ex-
touting ibe treaty will be submitted tothe idtamiiors. Thi-

sec-retary of State, w hich, tile president w ill nafu.-afly think,
required pahicillar notice. As the extent of thi
two nations, ancient or modern.
Governor M'Duflse makes rather free, with history, and
is not always happy in Lis use or ab'Jse of it. ’Idle case
here quoted is a very extravagant hyperbole; and- i:i. w hat
ever way it be considered, it is peremptorily false.
If itshe taken as tothe fact of staples producing war, tbore
aware of the circumstance, that my despatches announcing
the r<jei tion of the law, arrived in the United States in. lb -
first week in May.Jjin those despatch s also slated, that a
fist sailing vessel woTiki be sent with instructions lo M. rSe-
rurier, to make some explanations on the subject. In ordi
nary cases, it wpuid have been deemed a duty in tli - pi -si-’
(ie-nt, to have informed congress of the cha-lgc, which thi-

you: Because, Jie says, the lalxtr of- the freemen in those
